Direct identification of Mycobacterium haemophilum in skin lesions of immunocompromised patients by PCR-restriction endonuclease analysis.

abstract：:Arbitrarily primed polymerase chain reaction (AP-PCR) was used to characterize Legionella pneumophila serogroup 1. Cells from a single colony could be subtyped by AP-PCR within a few hours. The discrimination between strains of L. pneumophila serogroup 1 by AP-PCR was equivalent to that by monoclonal antibody analysis...
